Lip Discoloration/Betamethasone Gel/Fordyce Spots


(New York )

Hi,

I think I have developed something like Fordyce Spots (white spots) on my upper lip with some discoloration. Do you think it could be due to the hydrocortisone shots I have been taking as well as applying betamethasone gel?

Hello,

Your symptoms may or may not be Fordyce's Spots since some symptoms can mirror other conditions. However, for our website viewers I will say that Fordyce's Spots are small, painless, raised, pale, red or white spots or bumps 1 to 3 mm in diameter that may appear on the inner surface (retromolar mucosa) and vermilion border of the lips of the face.

Regarding the hydrocortisone shots you've been given, these can be very detrimental to your skin and general health. Many times this drug exacerbates the skin condition and even produces further unwanted results. The betamethasone dipropionate gel you spoke of also using contains betamethasone dipropionate, USP, a synthetic fluorinated corticosteroid for topical dermatologic use. Betamethasone dipropionate is included in a class of compounds consisting primarily of synthetic corticosteroids for use topically as anti-inflammatory and anti-pruritic agents. Steroids carry with them harmful side effects....period! These side effects include: thinning and discoloration of the skin, easy bruising, permanent dilation of certain blood vessels, burn marks on skin, liver and kidney damage and a weakened immune system.

To repair and normalize your skin and skin tone, here is what I advise! My recommendation to you is to wash only with a hypo-allergenic and gentle wash which contains absolutely no chemicals or ingredients that can be toxic to the skin. Our FACE & BODY WASH will provide this type of purity and will help bring your skin in balance. Then apply our FACE & NECK THERACREAM - twice daily, which is a deep penetrating cream which will penetrate the 7 layers of skin and promote optimal functioning of the skin processes helping to repair and restore from the bottom up. This cream also provides a protective barrier as it is anti-fungal and anti-microbial and will help your skin to return to a balanced state and normal skin tones. And don't overlook putting the cream directly over your lips as well as this skin needs moisture and nutrients as well.

Please keep me posted on your progress.

Warm Regards,
Nanette
